US EditionThird U.S. Aircraft Carrier Arrives in Middle East as Iran War Continues
The deployment gives the United States three carriers in the broader Middle East, the most since 2003, analysts said.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump warned Iran that "the clock is ticking" while extending a temporary ceasefire to allow the country's "divided leadership" time to form a unified negotiating position.
- Rejecting Trump's characterization of "Hardliners" and "Moderates," President Masoud Pezeshkian and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf asserted that all Iranian factions remain united under supreme leadership.
- The United States deployed the aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush to the Indian Ocean, while Defense Minister Israel Katz threatened the "elimination of the Khamenei dynasty" if Iran refuses talks.
- Air defense systems activated in Tehran following reports of two hostile drones, though Israel denied involvement and local outlets suggested the activity was a defensive test.
- The threat of renewed conflict persists as U.S. officials indicated Wednesday the ceasefire extension is not indefinite, maintaining pressure on the Islamic Republic amid an ongoing naval blockade.
